Yeah, I probably am missing out on some good stuff. Those earlier films were great – very masculine, with an Alpha male type who drank, smoked, and seduced beautiful women left and right. Those were VERY much the Goode Olde Dayes, especially compared with the sad-sack no-fun Daniel Craig version we have today.

I personally liked Tomorrow Never Dies a lot. Goldeneye was silly because of the absurd Russian accents, but Sean Bean and Izabella Scorupco rescued it from being completely absurd. (Having lived in Russia for over a year now, I can’t watch Hellmouth films involving Russkies anymore – the abysmal quality of the spoken Russian, and the stupid accents, are actually profoundly offensive to me by now.)

But pretty much every Bond film since the 1990s, except for TND, has been disappointing at some level. The next one, Not Woke Enough or whatever it’s called, is going to be ASS compared with the originals.

The James Bond movies effectively ended in 1989. All the movies since then have been pozzed. M is not a woman and Q will always be Desmond Llewelyn. I haven’t seen one since Goldeneye, and I thought it was terrible.
